Part of the Game: Leading Sports Surgeon to Address World Medical Tourism & Global Healthcare Congress
Jonathan Glashow, chief of Sports Medicine at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York and a lead physician for the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association, will address orthopedic injuries at the 7th World Medical Tourism & Global Healthcare Congress, Sept. 20-24, 2014, in Washington, D.C.
Palm Beach Gardens, FL, August 08, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Despite advances in in sports medicine, injuries – those cringes and crunches – are still part of the game, according to the co-chief of Sports Medicine at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York and a speaker at the 7th World Medical Tourism & Global Healthcare Congress, Sept. 20-24, 2014, in Washington, D.C., the Medical Tourism Association® announced today.
Jonathan Glashow, M.D., P.C., a lead physician for the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association who has performed numerous orthopedic surgeries on celebrities and world-class athletes, will address these advances and areas in which sports medicine has helped to “bend the aging curve” for all who desire to lead a healthier, active and longer life.
“Orthopedic sports medicine has played an integral role in people extending their activity levels well into their ‘80s,” said Glashow, who has been listed among the “Best Orthopedic Surgeons in America” by New York Magazine and one of the “SuperDoctors” by the New York Times. “Eager to get back in the game, athletes of all levels — from professionals to ‘weekend warriors’ — seek the best in medical treatment and are willing to travel great distances to get the best procedures and treatments. When professional athletes receive treatment from a particular sports surgeon or medical center, the attention given can often inspire non-professional athletes to seek similar procedures and treatments.”
In addition to state-of-the-art cartilage, ligament and meniscus repair, Glashow said new technologies like biologics and platelet-rich plasma injections -- once reserved only for professional athletes -- are now available to all international patients who desire the very best medical and concierge care with little or no change to their bodies or lifestyles.
